We have a folder that is shared with only 4 of our devices, they are reporting the error as stated in this posts title. The thing is, this file is actually in the folder, I can see it, so why is this error showing? All devices are online so there isn’t any other source it could get it from?

Cheers

Some device must have had a newer version and went away. You can restart all instances and it should go away as we clear remote indexes on restart.

Can you grab [this build](http://build.syncthing.net/job/syncthing-branch/1736/), run that on one of them, and when it’s in that state open `http://localhost:8080/rest/filestatus?folder=thatFolder&file=thatFile` (for actual values of folder and file name and GUI location…) – it’ll show the current local and global versions and the supposed availability. It _shouldn’t_ be possible for there to exist a newer version that’s not available anywhere…

I’ve got that build up, will report back either tonight/tomorrow as it’s been a busy day today and I didn’t get chance to run it whilst everyone was working.

Appreciate the prompt reply.
